reception OF the lady when the curtain
rose was encouraging and compliment

reception OF the lady when the curtain
rose was encouraging and compliment
tary. Supported as she is by Mr..
Coghlan and troupe that numbers
amongst its members some meritorious
actors, the audience were assured of
an interesting performance. The
piece is worked up in Mr.. Sardou's
best vein, and portrays fashionable
wife who is willing to go to the verge
of crime, but is restrained on the
ragged edge, not by any high moral
principle, but by the fear of loss OF
caste with the world. Mrs. Langtry's
personation OF Lady Ormond, the
tempted wife, is such piece of acting
as we should expect from a woman
whose histrionic adaptations arose
merely from the circumstances of her
life, and not from a career OF severe
professional training. Any well-edu-
Gated lady, used to society and taking
occasional part in parlor theatricals,
would give as good rendering, minus
the ease and polish belonging to Mrs.
Langtry ON account OF the histrionic
advantages she has enjoyed since she
took to the stage as business. She
plays her part formally and ac-
cording to rule, but she makes no
striking points that thrill and
carry away an audience. The
fire of genius is not there; but in its
stead we are gratified with the pres
ence of a finely-developed and comely
woman, who does what is not usually
expected from a woman of personal
charms-plays character, full of
technical effects of the most striking
possibilities, in manner to please.
OF course we do not look for the bursts
of genius of Bernhardt, or Morris, or
u Mowatt. But we look for smooth,
plan-sailing acting, and this we get.
The compensation beyond this is the
celebrity of the lady, and that perhaps
is really what nine-tenths of us go'to
see her for. Tonight Mrs. Langtry
will appear as Mile. Deschappelles, in
the Lady of Lyons" This is Il char
acter which we should say was well
suited to her peculiar powers. 1t re-
quires but little display of depth of
feeling-unless it be in the last act =
and its Success mainly depends upon
the lady who sustains it knowing how
to portray the outward signs of cold
and conventional love.

bro WINS Burglary.

Some vandal entered Browns mu-
sic store at No. II North Spring street,
Sunday morning, and stole quantity
of gold pens and musical Instruments
amounting to about 5000 in value.
The thieves entered through back
window, the blinds of which they
forced with Jimmy" A man who
keeps well known fence" yesterday
offered to turn up" the goods for $50.
The citizens would feel like paying
5000 to have the thief "turned up"
This thing of property being stolen and
the cool announcement made that it
can be returned for so much money
looks as if a premium was being
placed ON crime, and the people will
not stand it for many years. Peace
officers receive salaries from the State
or from the city for the detection and
arrest of criminals and they should
try to earn their salaries.

NEW imvEnTion.

COLBY, Kan. Dec. Is. 1850.
Colby is on deck for a young city. None
can equal her for progress. energy and bust
ness enterprise. The latest boom for the town
is the discovery of the inventive talent pos
sessed by two of her citizens, Messrs. Fulker-
son Diffendafer. They have recently or1gi-
mated and completed at the Colby Implement
Firm. a new invention in the way of an end
gate for wagon, which was put to test on
Christmas day ami proved to be complete
success. These gentlemen are the sole inven-
tors eff this new end gate and the town and
county have reason to be proud OF tnem as
citizens. We have seen this end gate put to
test and feel confident it will supply a long
felt demand on the part of owners of wagons
throughout the country. Ii is diferen: from
anything we ever saw. II is very easily oper-
ated and is entirely secured when fastened
in the wagon box. This end gate can be seen
attached to the wagon of VIM. NJ. Vet, four
miles northwest of Colby. There are other
important inventions now under considera-
ton. at Colby Implement Firm. which will
probably be completed TINS winter. Colby in
tends 10 keep abreast o. the times and bids
her sister towns of the great Northwest to
follow her if they can.
Yours Respectfully,
A. CITIZEN.

FROM HcME.
OUTS NtSptClIuIIy,
y. CITIZEN.

ORLEANS, Neb., Dec. 18th.
Ed CAT-I Left Thomas county three weeks
ago next Tuesday, and came down to the place
OF my former residence, for the purpose OF
selling out and settling up unfinished busl-
ness, and as am detained longer than L ex-
pecteG, an naturally growing homesick, and
my thoughts are with family and friends in
Thomas county. have invitations to Christ
mas dinners from three different sources out
have declined all of them.
Times are not as brisk here as one would
suppose, considering tine country was blessed
with fair crops of staple products, including
railroad stakes. The b. s. NJ. are grading in
the Sappa valley, thinking perhaps to head off
the st. Joe and Grand Island, but the latter
company claim they are going west all the
same. They have surveyed routes to Orleans
and also to Alma, in Harlan county, but the
road will not miss Orleans even if it strikes
Alma. as Orleans is the key to the Sappa val
ley. cannot gather any certain information
as to objective points as far west as Thomas
county. but certainly think it will be unfOrtu-
nate for them to miss Colby.
Independent of the survey stakes which are
bristling ali over the country, the air is full
of rumors, and if they should all materialize,
Harlan county will soon be able to produce a
railroad map resembling the running gears of
an old fashioned rat trap,
The Republicans of Harlan county were
not so fortunate as they were in Thomas
county in the last campaign. Their candi-
date for representative was beaten, not for
want of party strength. but through bitter
fight between rival factions.
Judge Cobb seems to be the strongest man
on the Republican side for U. S. Senator.
VanWyck will not be returned by Republican
votes and it is altogether likely that the con-
test will be long and lively, and may result in
the choice of a dark horse in which ''our Jim
may come to the front.
The Free Methodists of Orleans are making
additions to their college building,
and the north part of the town in which the
college is situated is fast settling up with the
of the faithful.

"reminiscences behind. One Of tho most ple.s-
ant of which was the occasion of = spmr,.
uously prepared dinner at The residence of
Isaac middleton. Between the hours of ten
and eleven O'Clock wagons and buggies well
filed with men, women and children were met
at the gate Tor where the gate win be some
timein the near future) by the genial host and
at the door by the hostess who tried to make
all feel welcome. Although each CONVEYANCE
was apparently loaded with people. there
came out from under seats innumerable tubs.
baskets, buckets and boxes OF all sizes. each
of which was filed with the choicest eatables.
The crowd kept streaming forth until near
O'Clock when the last expected guest arrived.
As the table was already groaning under its
heavy weight, it was rapidly filed round with
hungry mass OF humanity and from the way
the turkey. chicken. beef pies, cakes and 9TH
er things too numerous TO mention, disap-
peared, showed that the people of Thomas
and kawlins counties know how TO do Justice
to a good dinner. As fast as one table full
was through eating, the walters were ready to
prepare for another. By Ave o'clock all felt
as if they had partaken OF Christmas dinner
Some of the young men that were SO unfor-
Mr.. Finley and Mr.. Gibbs were eating too long
and thought they would help them from the
table. They did SO, but as soon as they let
loose of their half furnished victims. they
rushed back TO the table and those hungry
ones had to wait with patience for awhile
longer. Mr.. Noyes thougat short ride ta-
Ken when about half through eating would
be Il great benefit to him So accordingly
rough trotting horse was saddled and brought
to the door for mis- use. Ee went short dis
lance. came back and seemed to relish the re-
mainder of his dinner. BY six O'Clock no re-
mains of the dinner were to be seen. The
room was cleared and the young felix's, we
suppose, spent a very happy evening. while
the older ones gathered at the residence of
Mr. Gibbs, where we spent few hours in
tripping the light fantastic toe. We did not
learn at what time the young folks dispersed
for their several homes, but we started for
ours when the clock pointed to the hour OF
twelve. Thus passed our first Christmas in
Kansas; one that will never be forgotten by
any that were present. We forgot to mention
that there were eighty that took dinner ard
that u cake brought by an old bachelor named
SamuelsOn was pronounced bv the crowd to
be the best there. The gentleman claims to
have baked the cake himself, and as we have
no reason for doubling his word, we would
recommend him to the young ladies as worth
trying to secure for life, US it is to be expected
that he can cook other things as well.
ONE THAT WAS THERE.
